Hi All

Wifey has bought a mixer tap for a basin I'm DIY ing. I was expecting copper tails, onto which I'd stick push fit fittings with stop valves upstream of them. This one has arrived with flexible metal tails with female fittings (nuts, for a better word).

Am I right to assume I will need 2 x 1/2' male fittings for these? Is that the right terminology? Checking here to be able to order on line. The fittings will be Hep2o.

Thanks.

Edit: Would an 'adapting male connector' be the boy?
 
Assuming your tap tails are 1/2 inch BSP threads ( some are 3/8 in bsp),then yes you will need to connect to a male 1/2 inch thread ,with a flat face. Various ways you can do that with different fittings.
